COLLECTION OF FRAMED HORSE PHOTOGRAPHS
This collection of framed photographs of people on horses welcomes a reflection on the attempt of animal photography to establish itself as a means of connection between two entities at odds with one another – human and non-human animals – and between two temporalities – present and past. It is but an attempt, for when photography turns nostalgic it moves away from art and turns into documentation. An archive of documented nostalgia. Yet a framed one.
